Michael Mosley missing after disappearing on holiday walk

[Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain]

Just that really. Will he be found?

It's 100% a PRAYER emoji. How embarrassing for you.

🙏

THIS is high five.

🙌

But heatstroke, amnesia, heart attack etc. don't make someone disappear.
If he'd become unwell surely he'd have been found on the path?

Hope they find him soon.

In my sixties. I also experienced the beginning of heat stroke in my early twenties. I was very hot but shivering. I recovered quickly in an air conditioned building with plenty of water. I am not convinced I would recover so easily now.

This. ^ If people want to chat about it, and speculate, and discuss etc, they should be free to do so without being got at by the forum police.

Also, people should be free to talk about when they take their phone with them (and when they don't,) without constant jibes from several posters.

It’s listed as both hi5 and prayer, but I most people use it for prayer. (And was clearly being used as prayer given the subject of the thread)

Are you saying that his wife is lying about her medical qualifications? You may be a nice person but your post is very much suggesting otherwise
You don't actually think for however many decades shes pretended to be a doctor do youm

I also do not think people understand how hard it is to find someone in a rural area who has become ill. I watched a programme where they were looking for an older women who had gone missing during a walk. They knew where she had gone but ground searchers did not find her. A helicopter was sent up and they used heat seeking detectors to find her. She had felt unwell, had left the path to sit down and was not well enough to get back up. She was barely conscious. If she had stood up you could have seen her from the path so she had not gone far. But from the path she was totally hidden by surrounding vegetation.
If Michael felt unwell he could easily have done the same and be pretty near the path.

Not that this is the thread for it. But you're wrong. If I type pray in my phone it comes up with 🙏

I got heatstroke in my 20s, felt so ill and dizzy.

Where on earth is 🙏 listed as a high five emoji?

Hiya,
Watched this morning news. Search team looking for him, I do hope he is fine. Like watching him presenting health and food shows. E.g 'Trust me I'm a doctor'.

It’s not rural as such, the locals are saying it’s a busy path, people walking it continuously, and it isn’t remotely dangerous, as it was widened and flattened. That’s the issue. It is not some isolated rural spot. It is a widely used thoroughfare. Just because it’s not like our roads, doesn’t change that.

I think he would be quite easy to spot. The ground is all pale grey/fawn rock and he's dressed in a strong blue.

I think most posts are written quite quickly, but people who read them have the time to ponder over every word, so the intention behind posts is often misconstrued imo. I don't think op is any more a grief hound than anyone else. I for one was grateful for the post because it alerted me to the story.

Exactly with little to no vegetation. On a well used path the locals are saying isn’t dangerous.

Maybe he just wanted to disappear.

I doubt it, he is very close with his wife and kids

High five?! I have been using it as a prayer emoji!!! Please tell me it's a prayer emoji otherwise a few people are going to think I've been taking the piss.

Elderly people will often stay inside in the shade. They better understand the dangers of heat.

No it isn't

Even Mumsnet labels it as pray

It's officially the Folded hands emoji. It's used to says thanks, like they do in Japanese culture or commonly as praying hands.

If it was high five I imagine they'd have made the sleeves different colours.

Michael Mosley is 67. Your ageism is very inappropriate at this time.

The dogs are usually very efficient so they will find him if he's had an accident.

I can't stand him, awful man but he has a wife and family so it's them I feel for.
